No-Bake Chocolate Trifle
A rich, creamy no-bake dessert with layers of crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, and cream cheese filling. Perfect for any occasion, with a mix of textures and flavors that develop as the trifle chills.
Ingredients
- 19.1 ounces Oreo cookies divided
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 ¼ cups milk divided
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed and divided
- 6.8 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
Instructions
- Crush 14 Oreo cookies into bite-sized pieces and set aside, saving 5 for garnish.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding sugar and ¼ cup milk until creamy. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
- Whisk 6.8 ounces chocolate pudding mix with 4 cups milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Layer crushed Oreos, pudding, and cream cheese mixture in a 3-quart trifle bowl: cookies → pudding → cream cheese (half), repeat. End with remaining pudding and another cookie layer.
- Top with remaining whipped topping, garnish with reserved Oreos, and refrigerate for 2+ hours before serving (4+ hours recommended).
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for optimal texture
For smoother results, use a food processor to crush Oreos
Pipe whipped topping for an elegant finish
Let trifle rest 10 minutes at room temperature before serving
Healthier option: Replace cream cheese with reduced-fat version and pudding with sugar-free mix
